DescriptionCVE.org

Insufficient validation of untrusted input in DevTools in Google Chrome prior to 148.0.7778.96 allowed a remote attacker who had compromised the renderer process to leak cross-origin data via a crafted HTML page. (Chromium security severity: Medium)

AnalysisAI

Google Chrome versions prior to 148.0.7778.96 contain insufficient input validation in DevTools that allows remote attackers with a compromised renderer process to leak cross-origin data through crafted HTML pages. The vulnerability requires user interaction and a pre-compromised renderer, limiting real-world exploitation but presenting a significant attack chaining vector for multi-stage exploits. Patch available from vendor.

Technical ContextAI

This vulnerability exists in Chrome's DevTools implementation, which is responsible for debugging and inspection capabilities. The root cause is CWE-20 (Improper Input Validation), indicating that DevTools fails to properly sanitize or validate untrusted input when processing HTML content. The attack leverages a compromised renderer process-the sandboxed context that executes web content-as the attack origin point. By sending crafted HTML through DevTools, an attacker can bypass same-origin policy protections and access cross-origin data that should be isolated. This is a classic case of sandbox escape or context confusion where the DevTools interface does not maintain proper origin boundaries when parsing user-supplied input.

RemediationAI

Update Google Chrome to version 148.0.7778.96 or later immediately. This is the vendor-released patch that addresses the DevTools input validation defect. Users can verify their Chrome version by navigating to Chrome Menu > Help > About Google Chrome, which will automatically check for and apply updates. The patch should be deployed across all Chrome installations without workarounds; no configuration changes or feature disablement is necessary. For enterprise deployments using Chrome policies, ensure automatic updates are enabled or manually deploy version 148.0.7778.96 or later through your software distribution mechanism. See the official Chrome release notes at https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2026/05/stable-channel-update-for-desktop.html for platform-specific details.
